Further Reflections on the Baptism of the Spirit (Remastered) – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
In his series on Great Biblical Doctrines, this is MLJ’s second sermon on the baptism of the Spirit. Many in his congregation asked for clarification and in some cases, more information after he preached his initial sermon on this topic. It is not a typical sermon, as he reads about the experiences of several Christians of days gone by, men who wrote about experiencing the baptism of the Spirit; and he adds to those written experiences words of clarification. I think that many could get a better idea about what kind of experience constitutes the baptism of the Spirit by hearing this sermon. There is much confusion, and utter foolishness in the current church about what it means to be baptized by the Spirit. He says a little about such things in passing, but he didn’t know about what we have today. I recommend hearing the preceding sermon on the baptism of the Spirit also.
Sanctification in Romans 6 to 8 – Martyn Lloyd-Jones – MLJTrust
…“It is impossible for a Christian to remain in continual sin due to sanctification.” This is a freeing truth. From the moment of conversion, the Spirit of Life dwells in the believer, and they cannot be subject to the carnal. Moreover, this is a promise for all Christians, not just a blessing that some receive and others don’t. And yet, the struggle against sin is still a daily battle for followers of Christ. To help the listener better understand, Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that from the moment of salvation, Christians are dead to sin since they have been united with Christ and His life. The Christian spirit is alive to Christ, yet their bodies are still under the bondage and dominion of sin…. [From MLJTrust’s explanation of this sermon. They also provided sermon highlight points.]
Exposing the Campaign for Immorality – Pastor John MacArthur
This post contains an Mp3 message by John MacArthur, it is another installment of John MacArthur’s series, Exposing the Campaign for Immorality. …While the DNC is the catalyst, the need for addressing these pressing issues is much bigger than any political agenda, as society at large has moved beyond acceptance of sinful behavior and now celebrates it. The promotion of this behavior is inescapable and spreads far wider than the borders of the United States. In light of this, I want to provide a series of messages offering clarity to many critical issues. …The current state of the world mirrors the time of Israel’s judges: “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (Judg. 21:25). Rebellious humanity echoes the words of Psalm 2, “Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!” (v. 3). The restraints have been thrown off—and mankind is paying the price….
Soon there will be no “Swing States” – Tucker Carlson – Elon Musk
This post contains a 3-minute 35-second video excerpt of a Tucker Carlson interview of Elon Musk. Musk is talking about the democratic administration and immigration. Musk indicated democrats modified immigration laws to facilitate overloading swing states with illegals. He talked about population percentages…. He quickly mentioned the “parole process” that democrats have instituted to facilitate this illegal process: CHNV. [I linked my recent post on CHNV]
Pastoral Perspective on Politics [and Voting] – Jonny Ardavanis
There are two videos in this post; the first is 6 minutes, the second, a bit over 60 minutes. The following narrative accompanied the first video at YouTube: Are you a Christian that is wondering how to approach politics and the upcoming election? In this video, Jonny answers questions such as, “should we refrain from voting if we don’t like either candidate?”, “can we vote from the lesser of two evils?” “Do we need to bring about political reform in order that there can be a spiritual revival?” The second video is a discussion panel with Todd Friel and 3 other pastors, title of that video: “Should Christians Vote for Trump? Detailed Breakdown”
What is the immigration parole process: CHNV?
A FOLLOW-UP POST TO HEARTLAND INVASION: This post explains the “immigration parole process” being used to grant illegals the rights to live and work in the USA. A half-page immigration document and two videos make the process clear and show that the Marxist left has been carrying out a carefully organized and strategic plan to place immigrants in every community they are needed to guarantee a democrat voter base. [Nowhere in the videos is that stated, but it occurred to me as I put this post together because of a movie I saw on Amazon a couple of years ago about how democrats wreck cities and states to establish a voter base. They run down the economies such that people end up subsisting on welfare; those on welfare vote for democrats because that is one of their wonderful social programs…. The DVD, There’s No Place Like Utopia, that explains such democrat strategies is linked in this post]

Heartland Invasion – Steve Cortes
The following video was posted on Agenda Weekly. It is by Steve Cortes and is about the city of Whitewater Wisconsin, the illegal invasion. The town population is 15 thousand and they have received over a thousand illegals. Cortes interviewed a public official, a landlord, school teachers and others to call attention to the problems that this invasion of illegals has caused this Wisconsin town. Also, he spend an appropriate amount of time discussing how illegals have been the source of increased crime and intimidation of residents. Many are concerned for the safety of their families, and have to move about their community with great care and vigilance to keep from being victims of crime.
Has America Forgotten God? Agenda Weekly 10-12-24
The message of this week’s video reminded me of a John MacArthur sermon in that Curtis’ assessment of the ills of America were shown to be consequences of our turning from God to trust in man. God causes a nation to rise or fall based on the views / actions of a people towards Him. Curtis gave many specifics and he called Christians to repent….
